Do you really think the world would suddenly just stop if everyone wasn't living under a constant state of duress anymore? You can't envision how much cooler the world could be if people were free (of tyranny)? Can you imagine how living in a constant state of slavery, be it financial or otherwise might suppress our collective creativity and spirit?
Human beings are born with free will, the ability to make choices freely. Nobody is born with some kind of natural obligation to live according to the whims and expectations of those that maintain the pretense of authority and yet this is the current paradigm "Authority worship" we live in.
Freedom or tyranny, humanity's proverbial choice. The choice is made through our collective behavior.
We don't need them, they need us.
